Blood, Sweat, and Legos

I filmed a live broadcast of Olathe Northwest's annual blood drive. It was an interesting experience and had many stages throughout the process. Olivia Contractor, a Sophomore at Olathe Northwest, had many struggles through the process of donating and had a long journey to donating.

In order to get the shots that I wanted I had to follow every step, camera in hand to make sure I didn't miss a moment! It was more difficult than you would think to film steady without a tripod and took a lot of focus and concentration. Along the way I picked up a few tips and tricks to make my video even better than before.

I would've changed a few shots but when filming live footage you just gotta keep going! I feel that this was a successful story on the blood drive and was an exciting event to film!

When we are young and tiny, building legos is a fun and exciting activity but as we get older we forget the fun things we did as kids. Olathe Northwest brought back the joy of building legos and had a group of high school students build different sets of legos to bring back that childhood-feeling.

When filming the process of building legos, I wanted to make sure that I captured the joyous feeling of putting each piece together. I shot the length of the process by adding different shots and angles to create an interesting view on the video.

If I could change anything, I would try to capture better audio to hear his comments on the childhood-feeling comeback. I feel that I did the best I could and that this video could indeed be better. It was fun to see the legos be created and the joy in the students eyes come back.
